I have gone back and use slacko_multi for now. Your precise_lxpup is very well made but I find that precise itself is still in its very early stage. I might be wrong but I find that under precise, many pets and debs or even those from ubuntu will need modifications before they can work properly with precise puppy. It looks promising but it seems to be a new operating system by itself and not like lupu/lucid. Debs from ubuntu used to be very compatible for lupu.

But 01micko's slacko is at the moment very friendly so when i want slacko power, I use slacko_multi. When i want racy power i use saluki/carolina.

But who can deny Ubuntu's popularity! I used to also enjoy ubuntu 10.04 and I do notice that ubuntu precise, as an OS by itself, has some new power and speed to it. But for non technical users like myself, making older ubuntu's softwares to work with precise can be quite a struggle.

Luckily, you have also made slacko_multi to fall back on. Thanks!

Wow! I just realized that the xfce4 in your slacko_multi is not xfce4.8 but xfce4.10 (latest xfce4.10!!) Nice!

There is problem, I can't build and maintain 3 or 4 Lxpup version ?!
.... Will have to make a choice...

I would say go for Precise 5.4 since Ubuntu packages are always up to date. Besides, it is Barry's child at the moment.

On another note, Barry's Openshot (also found here at the forum Openshot 1.4.3 precise) for precise works okay on Barry's precise puppy 5.4. However, it fails in Precise Lxpup 11.12 apparently due to _glib.so mismatch.
Openshot installs a 67Kb _glib.so at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/glib/ while Precise Lxpup 11.12 comes already with a 65Kb _glib.so (needed by cinnamon-settings to wok) found at /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/glib/. Openshot works if one replaces the original _glib.so in Precise Lxpup 11.12 with that installed by openshot. This breaks cinnamon-settings. The reverse also holds true. That is, cinnamon-settings work if one keeps the original and deletes the one installed by openshot. Thus, both openshot and cinnamon-settings do not work at the same time.
Any ideas as to how to solve this problem?

PS:
I just found out that openshot works in Precise Lxpup 11.12 when cinnamon is not installed. This means Cinnamon's 65Kb _glib.so conflicts with that of openshot which is 67Kb.

I agree, Precise is the way to go.
By the way, I love Precise LXpup.
I'm running a frugal install with Pupsaveconfig 2.2.5, it's amazing how fast it is! And stunning, too.
At my first install sound disappeared, but my second install has a working sound, so I wonder what did I install to get the sound cut (I installed audacious and then set it as default through Defaults-Chooser, right now I'm using DeaDBeeF and have no problems).Of course, I installed the Spanish langpack, so that I can check what new translations have to be added. LXpup control center is in English, where can I get a file to translate it?
Something strange, after installing Pupsaveconfig I can't reboot by clicking the Reboot button, I have to Log Out to command prompt and type reboot then press ENTER key (same for Power Off). Could anyone confirm this?_________________OB Precise 15.01 kernel 3.17.7|Puppy Linux en español

pchan, you will can not use packages on the website with Slacko version which a bit out dated.

Jejy69,

Oh Ok, I went to slacko_lxde and now back to precise_lxpup. I know you have the abilities but you have to make a choice and I think it is better that way.

Yes, it is a wise choice because of ubuntu support and Barry K is behind it.

I understand that soon BarryK will release Service pack 1. Precise is work in progress and it is progressing quite quickly.

By the way, I installed langpack_ja-1.5b.sfs (shinobar's scim Japanese input with anthy japanese dictionary). after setting the tool bar to switch bwtween english and Japanese to always appear on desktop, it worked ok.

The problem is when i open up leafpad, right click, go to input methods, I couldn't find a menu where I can choose SCIM input method.

In BarryK's precise5.4, the menu to change input methods is available.

In Chrome browser, when i right click on the box to input texts, i also can't find the menu where I am allowed to change the input methods to SCIM input. The menu that appeared just gave the option : System / none / simple. only.

It will be very helpful if you can just take a look into it and maybe it is not so difficult for you to find out how to make the input methods available.

If your locale is not jp, ko or zh you need to edit a configuration file. Find the file

/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

Open this file with Geany or some other text editor. The file should contain a line at the bottom that reads

"scim" "SCIM Input Method" "scim" "/usr/share/locale" "ja:ko:zh"

Add your own locale to this line. For example if your locale is en, the line should read

"scim" "SCIM Input Method" "scim" "/usr/share/locale" "ja:ko:zh:en"

After a reboot you should have a working IME. Launch Geany or some similar program, select a Japanese font and type ctrl+space to activate Anthy. The Anthy taskbar should appear in the bottom right corner of the screen.

My thanks to shinobar for providing the last piece of the jigsaw.

(It must be .pet package because SFS file is read-only, then you won't be able to edit gtk.immodules)

Hello Pchan take a look there [/url]http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=823456693&t=61630[url] it may help[/url]

After some test i was able to have beryl and emerald on lxpup
on a very old nvidia card but these 2 files will need tweaking from Jejy69.

On a live boot , install the 2 files say yes to beryl message
after ctrl+alt+backspace type xorgwizard choose , i choose nouveau
nvidia the resolution and type xwin ,beryl and emerald should be there , as you can see there is the precise icons on the desktop
but you can still play with compiz and emerald after a save file
i was capable to start it back right click on the red diamond and Select Window manager and beryl.
